On Sunday afternoon, Eintracht Frankfurt host Bayer Leverkusen at Deutsche Bank Park in the Bundesliga, as the visitors look to maintain their recent positive league form.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Oliver Glasner’s team have made an inconsistent start to life under the former Wolfsburg head coach. However, things were looking up for the home team when they recorded three straight Bundesliga wins over Greuther Furth, Freiburg and Union Berlin.

However, that promising run ended last time out, as the Eagles suffered a 3-2 defeat at Hoffenheim. The defeat leaves Eintracht 11th place in the table, five points shy of the top six, while also just five points clear of the relegation play-off spot.

Stuttgart have won just one of their last six home games in the Bundesliga, while also suffering just one defeat too in the run.

Bayer Leverkusen

Gerardo Seoane’s team have returned to good form in recent weeks in the Bundesliga after a slight wobble. The return from injuries of key players in recent games has seen Bayer record three straight league wins, which includes a 7-1 home thumping of Greuther Furth last time out in the German top-flight.

Czech Republic international Patrik Schick scored four times in the mauling of Furth. Only Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski has scored more goals than Schick in the Bundesliga this season.

Bayer have been a difficult opponent on their travels this season, as they are unbeaten away from home in the Bundesliga, a record that stretches to seven games.
